THE FLATS – Georgia Tech will have three swimmers in Rodrigo Quadros Correia, Moises Loschi and Ben Southern compete this week at the 2017 NCAA Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana.

““Rodrigo, Moises and Ben are all so excited to be competing at the NCAA Championships this week,” stated head coach Courtney Shealy Hart. “They have worked hard to get to this point and we are excited to have them representing our team, our program and Georgia Tech in Indianapolis. The focus is always the same – to swim as fast as you can and to give it your all each in every race and we know that the guys will do that this week.”
